Jeannie Odell has asked me to send out a final call for troops who want to attend Camporee on May20-22 this year. So far we have about 100 girl scouts signed up from 6 troops. There is still plenty of room for lots of people but we need to put in the order for patches next week. If your troop is interested in coming, please contact Jeannie Odell at jpmo@frontiernet.net by the end of this week (Friday April 1st). Visit our Camporee Page for all of the information you’ll need, including links to some creative SWAP pages!

Here’s some additional information from the Girl Scout Site:
Each year around February 22, girls participate in activities, games and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries.
The theme for World Thinking Day 2010 is girls worldwide say “together we can end extreme poverty and hunger.”
World Thinking Day is part of the WAGGGS Global Action Theme (GAT) based on the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which aim to improve the lives of the world’s poorest people.
Girls voted and selected Germany, Kuwait, Peru, the Philippines, andSouth Africa to represent the five regions of World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)—Europe, the Arab region, Western Hemisphere, Asia/Pacific and Africa. World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships, but it is also a reminder that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
